Default New Car, New Board (New GXP Owner)

Hey guys and gals, so approximately 1 week ago, i purchased a 2005 Grand Prix GXP, Isnt on the Road yet as im waiting for someone to buy my GTP

My GXP is black with black interior and iirc, the previous owner mentioned something about installing superturbo mufflers

A little about my previous ride....
when i turned 16, the first car i ever have driven and owned was a 1997 Grand Prix GTP, just this passed spring i basically finished the exterior and had plans of moving onto the engine and performance, came across this GXP and i just couldn't pass up the deal! now for the pics

1997 GTP









and my custom little project:




and for the new purchase:
2005 Grand Prix GXP









I am currently a Club Moderator for OQCGP,

Im from the London, Ontario Area
anyone out this way?

Thanks B) they will actually be going on the GXP this weekend

they are the Sport Edition KV5 rims (aka a replica of the Milie Miglia Evo5 rims) now discontinued in size 18's
Bonniville GXP rims do not have the Up lift part at the spokes nor the bolt look, Grand Prix GXP rims are almost identical, but are flat, not curved in like the KV5's or Evo5's
Evo5's are made in Italy (now discontinued)
KV5's are made in China (now discontinued)
both are still good brands and same quality
the GTP has been my pride and joy for the past 4 years and LOTS of time has gone into it

Loved my 98 GTP. Wish i never got rid of that car. Miss Pooping on 4.6s and LT1s with a Grand Prix.

The GXP's are nice as well! Looked into one a while back!
